IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for UNIX and Linux, Version 4.1

Installing in silent mode

To install Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager in silent mode you require a response or properties file.

About this task

You can generate a properties file during installation in either graphic or console mode by starting the executable file as follows:

./4.1.0.0-TIV-TSFCM–platform.bin [-i console] 
-DRECORDFILE=/tmp/installer.properties

Procedure

To install in silent mode, create the response or properties file, such as installer.properties, containing the following variables:
1. The installation directory:
```
USER_INSTALL_DIR=installation_directory
```
  where installation_directory has the value:
  - AIX®: /usr/tivoli/tsfcm/acs_4.1.0.0
  - Linux: /opt/tivoli/tsfcm/acs_4.1.0.0
  - Solaris: /opt/tivoli/tsfcm/acs_4.1.0.0
  - HP-UX: /opt/tivoli/tsfcm/acs_4.1.0.0
2. To create a log file during installation, set the variable:
```
INSTALL_LOG_DESTINATION=installation_directory/log_file_name
```
3. Set the variable for the license file:
```
LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
```
4. To define the product database component that is installed, set the following variable:
```
CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET=InstallSet

where InstallSet is
TSMFCMORA (Oracle component)
TSMFCMSAP (SAP with Oracle component)
TSMFCMDB2 (DB2 component)
TSMFCMGEN (Custom application agent component)
```
5. (Oracle and Oracle in an SAP environment) To set the home folder of the Oracle SID, use the following variable:
```
ORACLE_HOME_FOLDER=/oracle/SID
```
6. (DB2®): To copy the required files directly to desired DB2 instances after installing in the main installation directory, set the following variable with a comma-separated list of existing DB2 instances:
```
DB2_INSTANCES_SELECTED=db2inst1,db2inst2
```
  If you do not want to copy the files, leave this variable blank:
```
DB2_INSTANCES_SELECTED=
```
Invoke the executable file with the -i silent option and the -f option to specify the properties file:
```
./version-TIV-TSFCM–OS-platform.bin -i silent -f properties_file
```
The properties_file specification must contain a full path.
